Ingredients

  • Filling

    • 1 1/2 pounds (5 cups) sweet cherries, fresh or frozen, pitted

    • 1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen

    • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

    • 1 tablespoon Kirsch or brandy (optional)

  • Topping

    • 2/3 cup whole-wheat flour

    • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)

    • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    • Pinch of salt

    • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces

    • 1 tablespoon canola oil

    • 3 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate

    • 1 tablespoon chopped almonds or walnuts

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and cover an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.

  • Mix the cherries, raspberries, cornstarch, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and, if using, the Kirsch or brandy in a large bowl. Pour into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes.

  • While the filling is baking, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl with a fork. Add the butter and mix together. Add the oil and stir. Mix in the orange juice concentrate and blend with your fingertips until all dry ingredients are wet.

  • After the fruit has baked for 20 minutes, stir the fruit and sprinkle the oats mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle with the almonds or walnuts.

  • Bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is lightly browned. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
